STORAGE TANK SETTLEMENT ALLOWANCE.
STORAGE TANK SETTLEMENT ALLOWANCE.
(OP)
Dear Engineers:
I would ask according to your experience, what is the maximum settlement to be considered as "permissible" for a storage tank.
We need performing a soil improvement. If we do it until 40 feet we will get a settlement of 2.5 feet but if we do it until 80 feet we will get a 1 foot settlement.
The difference in cost is substantial so we wouldn't like to have to reach the 80 feet for improvement.
I would appreciate your feedback
Sincerely,

I guess there must be a limit to the settlement.
I know I can use flexible connections for connecting tank - pipeline but what will be the most reasonable gap for that?

The inlet pipe is 16 inches and the outlet pipe 12 inches. It is possible to think in flexible connections with settlements up to 2 feet?

Thank you,

I am asusming that the settlement you are talking about is the settlement of the tank once you've built it and filled it with something, but I stll think this is a big amount.
My motto: Learn something new every day
Also: There's usually a good reason why everyone does it that way

The two proposal are designed to prevent differential settlement. The situation is that one (the most expensive) proposes an improvement to achieve a settlement of one foot, the other proposes a minor improvement, preventing differential settlement but subject to a settlement of 2 feet.
For a cost issue, we would like to implement the proposal with a settlement of two feet, only if you can handle them with pipes.
The tanks are 50 feet high * 150 feet in diameter.
Thank you,
